OUR MODEL: PROACTIVE CARE
HOW IS CARE DELIVERED?
PROACTIVE CARE = EARLY CARE = LIVES SAVED
1 : PROACTIVE SEARCH
Community Health Workers (CHWs) proactively search for patients through door-to-door home visits to connect them with care early.
2 : DOORSTEP CARE
CHWs provide an integrated package of life-saving health care services in the home, rapidly diagnosing and treating the most common illnesses.
3 : RAPID-ACCESS CLINICS
CHWs identify patients who need more complex care, and quickly accompany them to capacitated government-run health centers, where Muso builds infrastructure, trains staff, and provides technical support to ensure quality universal care delivery
without fees.
WHO LEADS CARE DELIVERY?
COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS (CHWs)
In the Proactive Care model, Muso’s front-line changemakers are our Community Health Workers, who work within strengthened public health systems. CHWs go door-to-door to search for patients and connect them to life-saving services in the home or the clinic early.
WHAT CARE IS DELIVERED?
CHWs provide a package of health care services in the home, including:
CLINICAL REFERALS
Muso CHWs triage care for more severe illnesses, and specific patients' needs, to capacitated, rapid-access government clinics and hospitals. Patients access all care without fees.
COVID-19 DIAGNOSIS
Muso CHWs conduct proactive home screenings for COVID-19, and ensure important public health information about preventing the spread of COVID-19 reaches their patients.
MALARIA, DIARRHEA, &
PNEUMONIA TREATMENT
Muso CHWs proactively provide the current global gold standard package of community health care for children, known as Integrated Community Case Management (iCCM).
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
Muso CHWs provide door-to-door proactive pregnancy testing, family planning services, and accompaniment, reaching women earlier with live-saving reproductive health services.
MALNUTRITION
PREVENTION & TREATMENT
Muso CHWs provide proactive diagnosis and treatment for children with malnutrition. Every child is tested monthly for malnutrition, and those who test positive receive treatment and proactive recovery support in the home or clinic.
HOW ARE CHWs MANAGED & SUPPORTED?
360° SUPERVISION MODEL
As CHWs deliver care at the doorstep, dedicated supervisors provide regular performance management support through Muso's 360º Supervision model. A study found that Community Health Workers who received 360° Supervision achieved significant improvements in the speed, quality, and coverage of care over time. Muso is providing technical assistance to support our government partners in Mali and Côte d’Ivoire to scale the model nationwide.
